Erdco 25D Turbo-Flo Flow Meter

General Information

Erdco 25D Turbo-Flo offer the precision of turbine technology with rugged construction. The practical design of the probe includes a bluff bar that protects the turbine from foreign materials in the stream as well as from over-insertion. Installation is simple and does not require special fittings. The Turbo-FloTM probe may be installed in standard pipe tees, through pipe saddles, welding spuds, and 1 1/2” full opening ball or gate valves.

Principle of Operation

The turbine is positioned in the mid-section of the pipe with its axis of rotation parallel with the flow stream. Fluid velocity causes the turbine, which has a ring magnet inside of its hub, to rotate in proportion to flow rate. As the turbine rotates, the magnetic field passes through a coil in the probe body, generating a pulse output in proportion to the turbine rotation speed. Flow volume is then determined from fluid velocity measurement and pipe diameter information

Erdco 25D Turbo-Flo Applications

  • Water and other aqueous solutions
  • Chiller and cooling tower loops
  • Water treatment systems
  • Irrigation systems

Design Options

  • 15 feet or more of cable for connection to remotely mounted display/transmitter.
  • Probe mounted options include 4-20 mA signal output transmitters and displays
  • The LCD rate/total display does not require external power. Turbine rotation recharges the lithium power cell in the display.
  • Transmitters and displays can also be wall mounted. Shown:
    • TF-15350-2 Rate/total display
    • TF-15390 Rate/total display with 4-20 mA transmitter
    • TF-15385 4-20 mA transmitter (no display)
  • The wall mounted TF-15275 Series of Flow Controllers includes 4-20 mA signal output and two optional
    adjustable set points eachwith Form C 5A contacts. NEMA 4X enclosure. 85-265 VAC, 47-63 Hz.
